Existence of periodic and subharmonic solutions for second-order superlinear difference equations

By critical point theory, a new approach is provided to study the existence and multiplicity results of periodic and subharmonic solutions for difference equations. For secord-order difference equations△2xn-1+f(n,xn)=0some new results are obtained for the above problems when f(t, z) has superlinear growth at zero and at infinityin z.

On some properties of the Navier–Stokes system of equations

We discuss the initial and boundary value problems for the system of dimensionless Navier–Stokes equations describing the dynamics of a viscous incompressible fluid using the method of characteristics and the geometric method developed by the authors. Some properties of the formulation of these problems are considered. We study the effect of the Reynolds number on the flow of a viscous fluid near the surface of a body.     

On the character and π-weight of homogeneous compacta

UnderGCH, χ(X)≤π(X) for every homogenous compactumX. CH implies that a homogeneous compactum of countable π-weight is first countable. There is a compact space of countable π-weight and uncountable character which is homogeneous underMA+GCH, but not underCH.     

On asymptotic expansions in nonlinear,singularly perturbed difference equations ∗

The present paper deals with the problem of constructing and proving asymptotic expansions for nonlinear, singularly perturbed difference equations. New methods for the construction of asymptotic expansions are presented and compared with well-known ones. For the proof of their validity, fundamental principles for the treatment of nonlinear singular perturbation problems are applied, based on the concepts of e-stability, formal asymptotic expansions, matching and asymptotic expansions. The results are derived from a general theory of asymptotic expansions of nonlinear operator equations that has been developed recently by the author.     

On non-isospectral flows,Painlevé equations,and symmetries of differential and difference equations

We identify the Painlevé Lax pairs with those corresponding to stationary solutions of non-isospectral flows, both for partial differential equations and differential-difference equations. We discuss symmetry reductions of integrable differential-difference equations and show that, in contrast with the continuous case, where Painlevé equations naturally arise, in the discrete case the so-called discrete Painlevé equations cannot be obtained in this way. Actually, symmetry reductions of integrable differential-difference equations naturally provide delay Painlevé equations.In Memory of Prof. M. C. PolivanovDipartimento di Fisica, P. le A.

The boundedness character of two Stevi?-type fourth-order difference equations

The boundedness character of positive solutions of two nonlinear fourth-order difference equations, which are particular cases of two large classes of difference equations by Stevi?, are studied in this paper.     

Existence and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions for impulsive predator–prey model with dispersion and time delays

In this paper, we study the existence and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions for impulsive predator–prey systems with dispersion and time delays. By using the method of coincidence degree theorem, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least one strictly positive periodic solution, and by means of a suitable Lyapunov functional, the uniqueness and global attractivity of the positive periodic solution are presented. Some known results subject to the underlying systems without impulses are improved and generalized.
